It'd be a losing business idea but I really want to open a restaurant where the food, decor, and name of the restaurant are all conflicting. Something like a Jewish Deli named "Los Amigos" that's decorated like a Chinese buffet.

Indian (good indian)
Vietnamese that isnt on Florida Blvd



I dont think some ethnic stuff we dont have would work. BR doesnt seem like an adventurous eating town. Not seem, it isnt.

Between La Reyna and La Salvadoreña, I'd say Baton Rouge is doing pretty well for its size on the Central American front.

Jamaican would work well in Baton Rouge. Lots of rice, beans, gravies/stews, flavor, and spice.

Korean BBQ.

Jewish Deli.

Peruvian Rotisserie.

I think a big problem in Baton Rouge is that not everyone is as open minded as the posters on this board when it comes to food. As such, when someone tries to open a spot introducing a new cuisine to the market, it can't be mediocre. It can't be as good as other options in town. It has to be BETTER than other options in town. Novelty alone won't do it, that's why some have failed.

I made some spot on Jamaican jerk chicken tonight. I may open up a little chicken shack and play Bob Marley. Unite the races while I'm at it, mon.

Bostonian: I want a pub that sells lobster rolls and chowdah

Korean BBQ: I've never tried it, and I want it.

Tapas: I saw Anthony Bordain go to a tapas bar. How it worked was every round of drinks you bought came with a round of tapas. It was a cool concept that was factored into your drinks. I would love to try such a place here.

Jewish Deli: I've heard rumors flying around about one opening downtown in the forseeable future, but I want a place that makes real kosher sandwiches with house made corned beef and pastrami on fresh baked rye bread. I want matza ball soup like maw maw used to make. I want gafilke fish, lox and bagels, latkes, and delicious brisket for all the goypaloi out there.

Jamaican is a cuisine I would love for Baton Rouge to have. Ronnie's Ribs was good and I don't know why they closed.

Seems like the style of cuisine dominant in Jamaican food would be popular in Louisiana.

Also, an authentic Cuban restaurant would be great.

Baton Rouge HAD a fantastic Jamaican restaurant in Ronnie's Ribs.

Baton Rouge also HAD a fantastic Central America (Colombian) restaurant in Montana's.

I was a regular at both.

They have now closed because Baton Rouge didn't give a shite about them. Burger King however still remains open. Enjoy.
